I am the founder of a baby sign language company, WeeHands, the author of The Baby Signing Book, former executive director of Women’s March Canada and the Associate Director of the Women Entrepreneurship Centre at Wilfrid Laurier University.

I am fascinated by people’s strengths and gifts. I’m very good at figuring out who should work together and why they would work well together. I am a therapist turned entrepreneur, marketer and community leader hoping to change the world for the better one tweet, community event or connection at a time.

I am passionate about helping women succeed in their businesses.

I strongly believe that women are powerful drivers of economic growth, and their economic empowerment, particularly through entrepreneurship and business leadership, benefits all. I support the dismantling of economic barriers that obstruct women’s full and equal access to local, national, and global economic systems.
